A THREE-DAY party to celebrate St David's Day was launched today - and we're all invited.

Cardiff-based brewers Brains and Cardiff County Council have teamed up to put the patron saint of Wales' day on the map.

And it kicks off this year with the nation's biggest festival of music with more than 100 events. A range of venues will host the festival, including St David's Hall, the Coal Exchange in Cardiff Bay and Brains pubs and clubs.

Sybil Fawlty actress Prunella Scales stars in a Poems and Pints eveningat the Coal Exchange on Friday, February 27, with Welsh music innovators Gorky?s Zygotic Mynci headlining the St David's Hall concert the following night.

The Welsh Night at the Coal Exchange on St David?s Day - March 1 - features Welsh singer/ songwriter Meic Stevens and the BBC National Orchestra of Wales.

There will also be free live music throughout the weekend at Brains pubs. Brains retail director Phillip Lay said: "This is a chance for Wales to demonstrate its vibrant and contemporary culture."
